On April 15, the Grammy award-winning singer will begin her tour in Serbia and move to other parts of Europe. She will then make her way to South America and wrap up the tour in North America.
Beyonce received criticism for naming her tour in honor of Jay-Z. Some questioned whether she still stands for the "independent woman" values she previously espoused in other songs.
"I feel like Mrs Carter is who I am, but more bold and more fearless than I've ever been," Beyonce told British Vogue in defense of her decision. "It comes from knowing my purpose and really meeting myself once I saw my child."
